BANGKOK, 3 February 2014 People’s Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) leader Suthep Thaugsuban has admitted that one of those involved in the Laksi shooting on Saturday is a member of the PDRC.
During a speech to his supporters last night, Mr Suthep verified that two shooters wearing green arm bands are PDRC members. He urged his supporters to refrain from carrying weapons into the rally sites as violence had repeatedly escalated into gunfire.
He added that members of the public who wished to join the rally would need to register their names with the guard in a bid to better identify their members.
Mr Suthep insisted, however, that men in black who were spotted at the scene are not with the PDRC and suspected they are professional gunmen.
Police continue to probe into the incident which left several people injured. Police have so far accused the PDRC guards of starting the shoot-out.
